Model Dependence of Transonic Properties of Accretion Flows Around Black Holes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analytically study how the behaviour of accretion flows changes when the flow model is varied. We study the transonic properties of the conical flow, a flow of constant height and a flow in vertical equilibrium and show that all these models are basically identical provided the polytropic constant is suitably changed from one model to another. We show that this behaviour is extendible even when standing shocks are produced in the flow. The parameter space where shocks are produced remain roughly identical in all these models when the same transformation among the polytropic indices is used. We present applications of these findings.

Calculation of the relativistic bulk tensor and shear tensor of relativistic accretion flows in the Kerr metric.
In this paper, we calculate the relativistic bulk tensor and shear tensor of the relativistic accretion ows in the Kerr metric, overall and without any approximation. We obtain the relations of all components of the relativistic bulk and shear tensor in terms of components of four-velocity and its derivatives, Christoffel symbols and metric components in the BLF. Then, these components are deri...
متن کاملHorizon-Penetrating Transonic Accretion Disks around Rotating Black Holes
The stationary hydrodynamic equations for the transonic accretion disks and flows around rotating black holes are presented by using the Kerr-Schild coordinate where there is no coordinate singularity at the event horizon. We use two types of the causal viscosity prescription, and the boundary conditions for the transonic accretion flows are given at the sonic point. For one type of the causal ...
متن کاملParameter Dependence of Transonic Accretion onto a Black Hole in the Presence of Bremsstrahlung and Synchrotron Cooling
The topologies are obtained for accretion flows around black holes as the parameters, accretion rate and specific angular momentum are varied. Paczyński-Wiita pseudoNewtonian potential is used to mimic the gravitational field of a Schwarzschild black hole. Both stellar mass(14M⊙) and supermassive(10 M⊙) black holes are considered. The effects of bremsstrahlung and synchrotron cooling processes ...
متن کاملOn Some Transonic Aspects of General Relativistic Spherical Accretion onto Schwarzschild Black Holes
The equations governing general relativistic, spherically symmetric, hydrodynamic accretion of polytropic fluid onto black holes are solved in Schwarzschild metric to investigate some of the transonic properties of the flow. Only stationary solutions are discussed. For such accretion, it has been shown that real physical sonic points may form even for flow with γ < 4
متن کاملNumerical models of rotating accretion flows around black holes
Numerical, two-dimensional, time-dependent hydrodynamical models of geometrically thick accretion discs around black holes are presented. Accretion flows with non-effective radiation cooling (ADAFs) can be both convectively stable or unstable depending on the value of the viscosity parameter α. The high viscosity flows (α ≃ 1) are stable and have a strong equatorial inflow and bipolar outflows....
